Stella Scholaja, a pop singer songwriter, released her single ‘Siren Of The Night’ on June 7th as the first song from her debut album. ‘Siren Of The Night’ weaves a tale of feminine power, enchanting the listener into Stella’s pearl-laced and ocean-soaked clutches. This song is sure to be swimming through your head whether you’re floating in an ocean of cosmos or reclaiming your voice back from a man who thought he had the strength to keep it.

The single opens with a punchy drumbeat layered with a folky acoustic guitar and a cacophony of strings infusing the song with an air of whimsy and adventure like that of a sailor’s song. Standout lyrics, ‘I’m a siren of the night one look into my angel eyes and you’re in love’ convey a temptress who holds the power in any given situation and lures men into her sea of infatuation for her own strategic bidding. An ethereal piano is added in this moment giving the impression of the calm before the storm as the listener is lulled by the delicate notes accompanying Stella’s haunting and beautifully controlled vocals.

‘Siren Of The Night’ bursts open into a euphoric crescendo in the bridge with its rich lyricism and dramatic aura. The lyrics, ‘oh no you’re drowning in my love’ portray how the siren holds an irresistible magic, one that blurs lines and makes even the most responsible of men sleepwalk out to sea and sell their souls to her.

‘Siren Of The Night’ is a song for the girls who measure their lives in summers and let their hair go wavy in the salt-air. For the girls who find freedom amongst the muted sounds of the coral and seaweed ridden ocean depths. For the girls who have a poet’s heart so forever romanticise even the most toxic of situations. This song is for the girls who never settle to just be a muse when they have the potential to be the great artist. So let the lyrics fill your lungs and the beat soak into your bones as you dance in the shallows of the ocean whilst being fully consumed by Stella in all her siren-like glory.

So go and stream ‘Siren Of The Night’ to bask in the lore of Stella as we anticipate the rest of the story in her upcoming album.
